Brazilian martial arts

Brazilian martial arts encompass a variety of fighting styles developed in Brazil, with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) being the most notable. BJJ emphasizes ground fighting and submission grappling techniques, focusing on using leverage and technique to overcome larger opponents. Other forms include Capoeira, a blend of martial arts and dance featuring fluid movements and rhythmic music, and Muay Thai, known for its striking techniques using fists, elbows, knees, and shins. These martial arts not only promote fitness and self-defense but also foster cultural expression and discipline within their practice.
